The IBM 9111 IntelliStation POWER 285 workstation combines excellent
performance and capacity in a flexible, affordable package. When used
with the GXT4500P or GXT6500P 3D graphics accelerator, it is an
outstanding choice for high-end Mechanical Computer Aided Design (MCAD),
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), graphic processing, and other floating-
point-intensive business and technical applications. Using 2D graphics
accelerators, it can be used for less demanding applications such as
software development.

Model abstract 9111-285

The IBM 9111 IntelliStation POWER Model 285 workstation is available
in a 1-core or 2-core configuration using state-of-the-art, 64-bit,
copper-based POWER5+ microprocessors running at either 1.9 GHz or 2.1
GHz, all with 36 MB of L3 cache.

The base 1 GB of main memory can be expanded to 32 GB for faster
performance and exploitation of 64-bit addressing as used in large
engineering analysis or complex product design applications.

The IBM IntelliStation POWER 285 workstation contains seven bays; four
of the bays are front-accessible and hot-swap-capable DASD bays. These
four DASD bays can accommodate up to 1200 GB of disk storage. Two of the
remaining three bays are used for a DVD-ROM and a DVD-RAM, and the last
bay can contain a tape drive.

The POWER 285 workstation supports a full range of graphic
input/output devices including the USB SpaceBall Plus 3D, USB SpaceMouse
Plus and USB SpacePilot input devices, the T120 20.1-inch TFT flat panel
monitor, and other keyboard and mouse devices.

The minimum POWER 285 configuration must include a processor, a
processor entitlement, memory, power supply, hard disk, a disk drive
enclosure, a media backplane, a power cord, a 2D graphics accelerator,
and a language group specify.

If you order an IntelliStation POWER 285 workstation with a 1-core
(#8327) or 2-core (#8330) POWER5+ 1.9 GHz processor or a 1-core (#5326)
or 2-core (#5327) POWER5+ 2.1 GHz processor with a minimum configuration,
you qualify for an Express Product Offering giving you a processor
entitlement at no extra charge. The number of processors, total memory,
quantity/size of disk, presence of a media device, monitor, keyboard,
mouse, and audio adapter are the only features that determine if a
customer is entitled to a processor entitlement at no additional charge.
You will be entitled to a lower priced AIX operating system license or
may choose to purchase the system with no operating system. The lower
priced AIX operating system is processed via a feature number on AIX.

You can make changes to the standard features as needed and still
qualify for processor entitlements at no additional charge, and the lower
priced AIX operating system license. However, selection of total memory
or DASD smaller than the total defined as the minimums disqualifies the
order as an Express Product Offering.

Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)

Reliability, fault tolerance, and data integrity

The reliability of the IntelliStation POWER 285 system starts with
components, devices, and subsystems that are designed to be fault
tolerant. During the design and development process, subsystems go
through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During
system manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to
help ensure the highest product quality level.

The IntelliStation POWER 285 system L3 cache and system memory offers
error checking and correcting (ECC) fault-tolerant features. ECC is
designed to correct environmentally induced, single-bit, intermittent
memory failures and single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood
of memory failures will be substantially reduced. ECC also provides
double-bit memory error detection that helps protect data integrity in
the event of a double-bit memory failure. System memory also provides
4-bit packet error detection that helps to protect data integrity in the
event of a DRAM chip failure. The system bus, I/O bus, and PCI buses are
designed with parity error detection.

Disk mirroring and disk controller duplexing capability are also
provided by the AIX operating system.

The Journaled File System maintains file system consistency and
reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system is abnormally halted
due to a power failure.

PCI extended error handling (EEH)

In the past, PCI bus parity errors caused a global machine check
interrupt, which eventually required a system reboot to continue. In the
POWER5+ systems, new I/O drawer hardware, system firmware, and AIX
interaction have been designed to allow transparent recovery of
intermittent PCI bus parity errors and graceful transition to the I/O
device available state in the case of a permanent parity error in the PCI
bus. This mechanism is called the PCI extended error handling (EEH).
EEH-enabled adapters respond to a special data packet generated from the
affected PCI slot hardware by calling system firmware, which will examine
the affected bus, allow the device driver to reset it, and continue
without a system reboot.

Memory error correction extensions

The standard memory has single-error-correct and double-error detect
ECC circuitry designed to correct single-bit memory failures. The
double-bit detection helps to maintain data integrity by detecting and
reporting multiple errors beyond what the ECC circuitry can correct. The
memory chips are organized such that the failure of any specific memory
module only affects a single bit within an ECC word (bit scattering),
allowing error correction and continued operation in the presence of a
complete chip failure (Chipkill recovery).

The memory also utilizes memory scrubbing and thresholding to
determine when spare memory modules within each bank of memory, if
available, should be used to replace ones that have exceeded their
threshold value (dynamic bit steering).

Redundancy for array self-healing

Although the most likely failure event in a processor is a soft
single-bit error in one of its caches, there are other events that can
occur, and they need to be distinguished from one another. For the L1,
L2 and L3 caches and their directories, hardware and firmware keep track
of whether permanent errors are being corrected beyond a threshold. If
exceeded, a deferred repair error log is created. Additional run-time
availability actions, such as CPU vary off or L3 cache line delete, are
also initiated.

L1 and L2 caches and L2 and L3 directories on the POWER5+ chip are
manufactured with spare bits in their arrays that can be accessed via
programmable steering logic to replace faulty bits in the respective
arrays. This is analogous to the redundant bit steering employed in main
storage as a mechanism that is designed to help avoid physical repair,
and is also implemented in POWER5+ systems. The steering logic is
activated during processor initialization and is initiated by the built-
in self-test (BIST) at power-on time.

The service processor that is standard on the POWER 285 workstation
provides the capability to diagnose, check the status of, and sense the
operational conditions of a remote system.

The service processor runs on its own power boundary and does not
require a system processor to be operational to perform its tasks.

The service processor supports surveillance of the connection to the
HMC and to the system firmware (hypervisor). It also provides several
remote power control options, environmental monitoring, reset and boot
features, and remote maintenance and diagnostic functions including
console mirroring.

The service processor can place calls to report surveillance failures,
critical environmental faults, and critical processing faults when the
system is not managed by an HMC running Service Focal Point.

Fault monitoring functions

BIST (built-in self-test) and POST (power-on self-test) check
processor, L3 cache, memory, and associated hardware required for proper
booting of the operating system, every time the system is powered on. If
a non-critical error is detected or if the errors occur in the resources
that can be removed from the system configuration, the booting process
proceeds to completion. The errors are logged in the system nonvolatile
RAM (NVRAM).

Disk drive fault tracking can alert the system administrator of an
impending disk failure before it impacts customer operation.

The AIX log (where hardware and software failures are recorded and
analyzed by Error Log Analysis (ELA) routine) warns the system
administrator about the causes of system problems. The Service Processor
event log also logs unrecoverable checkstop conditions and forwards them
to the Service Focal Point if the system is HMC attached. This also
enables IBM service representatives to bring along probable replacement
hardware components when a service call is placed, thus minimizing system
repair time.

Mutual surveillance

The Service Processor monitors the operation of the firmware during
the boot process, and also monitors the Hypervisor for termination. The
Hypervisor monitors the Service Processor and will perform a reset/reload
if it detects the loss of the service processor. If the reset/reload
doesn't correct the problem with the service processor, the hypervisor
will notify the operating system and the operating system can take
appropriate action, including calling for service.

Temperature monitoring warns the system administrator of potential
environmental related-problems (for example, air conditioning and air
circulation around the system) so that appropriate corrective actions can
be taken before a critical failure threshold is reached. It also
performs an orderly system shutdown when the operating temperature
exceeds the critical level.

Fan speed monitoring provides a warning and an orderly system
shutdown when the speed is out of operational specification.

Voltage monitoring provides warning and an orderly system shutdown
when the voltages are out of operational specification.

Error handling and reporting

In the unlikely event of system hardware or environmentally induced
failure, the system run-time error capture capability systematically
analyzes the hardware error signature to determine the cause of failure.
The analysis result will be stored in system NVRAM. When the system can
be successfully rebooted either manually or automatically, the error will
be reported to the AIX operating system. Error Log Analysis (ELA) can be
used to display the failure cause and the physical location of failing
hardware.

With the integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to
automatically send out an alert via phone line to a pager or call for
service in the event of critical system failure. A hardware fault will
also turn on the two Attention Indicators (one located on the front of
the system unit and the other on the rear of the system unit) to alert
the user of an internal hardware problem. The indicator may also be
turned on by the operator as a tool to allow system identification. For
identification, the indicators will flash, whereas the indicator will be
on solid when an error condition occurs.

Availability enhancement functions

The auto-restart (reboot) option, when enabled, can reboot the system
automatically following an unrecoverable software error, software hang,
hardware failure, or environmentally induced (ac power) failure.

Serviceability

The POWER 285 workstation is designed for customer setup of the
machine and for subsequent addition of most features (adapters/devices).
For a fee, IBM Service can perform the installation.

The POWER 285 workstation allows customers to replace service parts
(Customer Replaceable Unit) if they desire. To accomplish this, the
POWER 285 workstation has incorporated LEDs that will indicate the parts
that need to be replaced.

The POWER 285 workstation allows support personnel to remotely log
into a system to review error logs and perform remote maintenance. The
POWER 285 workstation Service Processor enables the analysis of a system
that will not boot.

The diagnostics consist of Stand-alone Diagnostics, which are loaded
from the DVD-ROM drive, and Online Diagnostics.

Online Diagnostics, when installed, are resident with the AIX
operating system on the disk or system. They can be booted in single-
user mode (service mode), run in maintenance mode, or run concurrently
(concurrent mode) with other applications. They have access to the AIX
Error Log and the AIX Configuration Data.

Service mode allows checking of system devices and features.

Concurrent mode allows the normal system functions to continue while
selected resources are being checked.

Maintenance mode allows checking of most system resources.

For results of Service Processor tests, access the error log from the
Service Processor menu.

Service Agent

The Service Agent is available at no additional charge. When
installed on an IBM eServer system, the Service Agent can enhance IBM's
ability to provide the system with maintenance service.

The Service Agent:

Monitors and analyzes system errors, and if needed, can automatically
place a service call to IBM without customer intervention

Can help reduce the effect of business disruptions due to unplanned
system outages and failures

Performs problem analysis on a subset of hardware-related problems
and, with customer authorization, can report automatically the results to
IBM Service

The system ports are similar to serial ports, however they are
disabled when either HMC port is connected to a Hardware Management
Console. Either the HMC ports or the system ports can be used, but not
both.

Even when no HMC is attached, integrated system ports will work
properly only with modems, async terminals, and certain UPSs for which
the manufacturer provides a special cable. Attachment of any other
serial devices (including system-to-system connections for HACMP)
requires a serial port adapter in a PCI slot.

In a Class B EMI environment, the SpacePilot (#8426), SpaceBall
(#8422/#8424), and SpaceMouse (#8423/#8425) input devices cannot be
attached to a keyboard USB port. These devices must be attached to a
system USB port.

(#1905) - 4 Gb Single-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter

(No Longer Available as of May 29, 2009)

The 4 Gigabit Single-Port Fibre Channel PCI-X 2.0 DDR Adapter is a
64-bit address/data, short form factor PCI-X adapter with an LC type
external fiber connector that provides single initiator capability over
an optical fiber link or loop. With the use of appropriate optical fiber
cabling, this adapter provides the capability for a network of high-speed
local and remote located storage. The adapter will auto-negotiate for

(#1907) Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Daughter Card

(No Longer Available as of August 28, 2009)

The Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card (#1907) is a bootable high
performance SCSI RAID Enablement feature providing RAID 0,5, or 10
capability to select pSeries systems with the appropriate supporting
integrated SCSI adapter and internal multiple disk drives or packs of
drives. To increase the data writing performance, a 40 MByte non-
volatile fast-write cache is provided as a resident part of this feature.
The 40 MByte fast-write cache can provide an improvement in data
throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations
compared to SCSI RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The
response time and data transfer improvement will vary depending upon the
data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine
type/model, and application parameters. When an array configuration is
selected with the RAID Manager, the disk drives being designated as part
of the array are required to be formatted to 522 byte sectors. 522 byte
sectors provide additional CRC error checking for improved data
integrity. A menu option is provided in the AIX supporting software
which will reformat these disk drives prior to their usage in an array.
Conversely, when a disk drive is removed from an array, a similar menu
option is also provided to re-format them back to 512 byte sectors.

Note: Some disk drives require that their microcode be updated to the
latest level before being formatted to 522 Byte Sectors. Also, there are
some disk drives which do not support being formatted to 522 Byte
Sectors. The PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager will inform the user of these
known situations when they exist. For disk microcode updates, go to the
following Web page URL:

Limitation: Even though the supporting integrated adapter with the
Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card has ports that run at ultra320
SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally attached disk drives
will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified by that supporting
system disk backplane.

Attributes provided: Internal disk drives can be configured as an
array.

(#1912) PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 LVD SCSI Adapter

(No Longer Available as of July 30, 2010)

The PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#1912) is a 64-bit
3.3 volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI
applications. The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides two
SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.). Each
SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal SCSI
device or backplane attachments) or external. Internally attached
Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a data rate of up to 320 MB per
second on systems that have internal backplanes that are capable of
supporting Ultra320 speeds.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per
second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter
utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully
utilize this 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should
also be Ultra320 LVD devices. But, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320
devices coexist on the same bus, each device will operate at its rated
speed. For lower speed single-ended (SE) devices, the SCSI bus will
switch to single-ended (SE) performance and interface to all devices on
that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket
allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A .3
meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68-pin, (#2118) can be
used with older external SE devices or subsystems to allow connection to
the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

Two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI
external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/web pages for
verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#1912) is a native boot
adapter with AIX 5.2L or later software in a supported pSeries or RS/6000
systems. The adapter also supports target mode.

Limitations:

The two external ports do not support the connection to the IBM
7131-105 IBM Multi-Storage Tower Model 105.

Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI nonRAID Adapter has ports
that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally
attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified
by that supporting system disk backplane.

To increase the data writing performance, a 90 MByte non-volatile
fast-write cache is a resident part of this adapter. The 90 MByte fast-
write cache can provide a significant improvement in data throughput and
response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI
RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data
transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the
percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application
parameters.

The Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter has two independent
ultra320 SCSI buses. There are two internal ports and two external
ports. The two internal ports are shared with the two external ports.
The SCSI busses can drive either an internal port or an external port.
The internal ports can be used to provide an internal RAID solution on
certain supporting pSeries systems with internal multiple disk drives or
packs of drives. Internally attached Ultra320 devices designed to run at
320 MB can run up to 320 MB per second on systems that have internal
backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per
second and maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter utilizes Low
Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. All attaching devices
should be Ultra320 LVD devices to utilize the 320 MB per second
performance, however, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320 devices coexist on
the same bus, each device will operate at its rated speed. This card
does not support single-ended (SE) devices.

When an array configuration is selected with the RAID Manager, the
disk drives being designated as part of the array (attached to either the
internal or the external ports) are required to be formatted to 522-byte
sectors. 522-byte sectors provide additional CRC error checking for
improved data integrity. A menu option provide in the AIX supporting
software, which will reformat these disk drives prior to their usage in
an array. Conversely, when a disk drive is removed from an array, a
similar menu option is also provided to re-format them back to 512-byte
sectors.

Note: Some disk drives require that their microcode be updated to the
latest level before being formatted to 522 Byte Sectors. In addition,
there are some disk drives, which do not support 522 Byte Sectors format.
The PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager will inform the user of these known
situations when they exist. For disk microcode updates, go to the
following web page URL:

Two VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket
allowing attachment of various LVD external subsystems.

Limitations:

Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports
that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally
attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified
by that supporting system disk backplane.

Minimum System Firmware Required:

System firmware level required is SF235_185 or greater. Firmware
level SF235_185 adjusts the PCI slots to run in Single Data Rate (SDR)
mode. Enablement of Double Data Rate (DDR)slots to run at DDR mode is
planned to be provided in an upcoming firmware enhancement.

Running the adapter on a system with firmware level lower than
SF235_185 is not supported.

(#1974) PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter

(No Longer Available as of March 31, 2006)

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5712) is a 64-bit 3.3
volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI
applications. The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides two
SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.), up to
twice the maximum data transfer rate of the previous Dual Channel Ultra3
SCSI adapter (160 MBps). Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on
systems that support internal SCSI device or backplane attachments) or
external. Internally attached Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a

Note: The IBM Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter (#5700) incorporates an
LC type connector on the card. This new, smaller form factor connector
is being used by the industry for the next generation of fiber optic
networks. If connecting into an older, existing SC type connector
network, an LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2459) or LC-SC 50
Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2456) is required.

(#5701) IBM 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet PCI-X Adapter

The IBM 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet PCI-X Adapter is a Full Duplex
Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed with highly integrated components.
This adapter can be configured to run at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps data
rates. The adapter interfaces to the system via the PCI-X bus and
connects to the network using a 4-pair CAT-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cable for distances of up to 100m. AIX Network Install Manager
(NIM) boot capability is supported with this adapter. The adapter
conforms to the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard. The adapter also
supports jumbo frames when running at the 1000 Mbps speed.

Note: For optimum performance, adapter should be placed in a 64 bit PCI-X
card slot.

Limitations: The 1000 Mbps speed is not supported in Half Duplex
(HDX) mode.

To increase the data writing performance, a 40 MByte non-volatile
fast-write cache is provided as a resident part of this adapter. The 40
MByte fast-write cache can provide a significant improvement in data
throughput and response time during certain sequence write operations
compared to SCSI RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The
response time and data transfer improvement will vary depending upon the
data block sizes, the percentage of sequential writes, machine
type/model, and application parameters.

The Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter has two independent
ultra320 SCSI buses. There are two internal ports and two external
ports. The two internal ports are shared with the two external ports.
The SCSI busses can drive either an internal port or an external port.
The internal ports can be used to provide an internal RAID solution on
certain supporting pSeries systems with internal multiple disk drives or
packs of drives. Internally attached Ultra320 devices are designed to
run at a data rate of up to 320 MB per second on systems that have
internal backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per
second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter
utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully
utilize this 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should
also be Ultra320 LVD devices. But, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320
devices coexist on the same bus, each device will operate at its rated
speed. For lower speed single-ended (SE) devices, the SCSI bus will
switch to single-ended (SE) performance and interface to all devices on
that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

When an array configuration is selected with the RAID Manager, the
disk drives being designated as part of the array (attached to either the
internal or external ports) are required to be formatted to 522 byte
sectors. 522 byte sectors provide additional CRC error checking for
improved data integrity. A menu option is provided in the AIX supporting
software which will reformat these disk drives prior to their usage in an
array. Conversely, when a disk drive is removed from an array, a similar
menu option is also provided to re-format them back to 512 byte sectors.

Note: Some disk drives require that their microcode be updated to the
latest level before being formatted to 522 Byte Sectors. Also, there are
some disk drives which do not support being formatted to 522 Byte
Sectors. The PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager will inform the user of these
known situations when they exist. For disk microcode updates, go to the
following Web page URL:

Two industry standard VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the
adapter's end bracket allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external
subsystems. A .3 meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to
68-pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE devices or subsystems
to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X Dual Channel
Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter.

The two external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DS4
Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TS4 Expandable Storage Plus Tower
at up to 320 MB/s SCSI bus data rate configured as either a non-array or
an array of disks Also the two external ports provide non-array
connectivity to numerous other SCSI external subsystems. Check the
external subsystem sales/web pages for verification of connectivity
support with this adapter.

Limitations:

The two external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DU3
Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TU3 Expandable Storage Plus Tower
at up to 160 MB/s SCSI bus data rate as well as connectivity to an IBM
2104-DL1 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TL1 Expandable Storage
Plus Tower at up to 80 MB/s SCSI bus data rate, but is limited to only
non-array configuration support.

The two external ports do not support the connection to the IBM
7131-105 IBM Multi-Storage Tower Model 105.

Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports
that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally

(#5706) IBM 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet PCI-X Adapter

The IBM 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet PCI-X Adapter is a Full
Duplex, dual ported, Gigabit Ethernet adapter designed with highly
integrated components. This adapter can be configured to run each port
at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps data rates. The adapter interfaces to the
system via a PCI or PCI-X bus and connects to a network using a 4-pair
CAT-5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable for distances of up to 100m.
AIX Network Install Manager (NIM) boot capability is supported with this
adapter. The adapter conforms to the IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T standard.
The adapter also supports jumbo frames when running at the 1000 Mbps
speed.

A function called 'Large Send' or sometimes known as TCP Segmentation
is also provided by this adapter. This function offloads the TCP
segmentation operation from the AIX IP layer to the adapter for outgoing
(transmit side) TCP segments. Another function known as "Checksum
Offload" which offloads the TCP/UDP Checksum Operation or workload from
the CPU to the adapter is also provided.

The IBM 2-Port 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet PCI-X Adapter (#5706)
should be considered where maximum port density is required per I/O card
slot. For a suggested maximum number of adapters taking performance into
consideration, refer to the RS/6000 & pSeries PCI Adapter Placement
Reference SA38-0538. If card slots are not the limiting factor and
maximum throughput is required, the single port IBM 10/100/1000 Base-TX
Ethernet PCI-X Adapter (#5701) is the preferred solution.

Note: For optimum performance, the adapter should be placed in a 64 bit
PCI-X card slot whenever possible.

Limitations: The 1000 Mbps speed is not supported in Half Duplex
(HDX) mode.

A function called 'Large Send' or sometimes known as TCP Segmentation
is also provided by this adapter. This function offloads the TCP
segmentation operation from the AIX IP layer to the adapter for outgoing
(transmit side) TCP segments. Another function known as "Checksum
Offload" which offloads the TCP/UDP Checksum Operation or workload from
the CPU to the adapter is also provided.

The IBM 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter (#5707) should be
considered where maximum port density is required per I/O card slot. For
a suggested maximum number of adapters taking performance into
consideration, refer to the RS/6000 & pSeries PCI Adapter Placement
Reference SA38-0538. If card slots are not the limiting factor and
maximum throughput is required, the single port IBM Gigabit Ethernet-SX
PCI-X Adapter (#5700) is the preferred solution.

Note: For optimum performance, the adapter should be placed in a 64 bit
PCI-X card slot whenever possible.

Note: The 2-Port IBM Gigabit Ethernet-SX PCI-X Adapter incorporates an LC
type connector on the card. This new, smaller form factor connector is
being used by the industry for the next generation of fiber optic
networks. If connecting into an older, existing SC type connector
network, an LC-SC 62.5 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2459) or LC-SC 50
Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2456) is required.

To increase the data writing performance, a 16 MByte non-volatile
fast-write cache is provided as a resident part of this feature. The 16
MByte fast-write cache can provide an improvement in data throughput and
response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI
RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data
transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the
percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application
parameters.

When an array configuration is selected with the RAID Manager, the
disk drives being designated as part of the array are required to be
formatted to 522 byte sectors. 522 byte sectors provide additional CRC
error checking for improved data integrity. A menu option is provided in
the AIX supporting software which will reformat these disk drives prior
to their usage in an array. Conversely, when a disk drive is removed
from an array, a similar menu option is also provided to re-format them
back to 512 byte sectors.

Note: Some disk drives require that their microcode be updated to the
latest level before being formatted to 522 Byte Sectors. Also, there are
some disk drives which do not support being formatted to 522 Byte
Sectors. The PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager will inform the user of these
known situations when they exist. For disk microcode updates, go to the

(#5712) PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5712) is a 64-bit 3.3
volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI
applications. The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides two
SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.), up to
twice the maximum data transfer rate of the previous Dual Channel Ultra3
SCSI adapter (160 MBps). Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on
systems that support internal SCSI device or backplane attachments) or
external. Internally attached Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a
data rate of up to 320 MB per second on systems that have internal
backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per
second and also maintain a reasonable drive distance, the adapter
utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully
utilize this 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should
also be Ultra320 LVD devices. But, if Ultra2, Ultra3, or Ultra320
devices coexist on the same bus, each device will operate at its rated
speed. For lower speed single-ended (SE) devices, the SCSI bus will
switch to single-ended (SE) performance and interface to all devices on
that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two industry standard VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the
adapter's end bracket allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external
subsystems. A .3 meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to
68-pin, (#2118) can be used with older external SE devices or subsystems
to allow connection to the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X Dual Channel
Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

The two external ports provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DS4
Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TS4 Expandable Storage Plus Tower
at up to 320 MB/s SCSI bus data rate. The two external ports also
provide connectivity to an IBM 2104-DU3 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or
2104-TU3 Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 160 MB/s SCSI bus data
rate and to an IBM 2104-DL1 Expandable Storage Plus Drawer or 2104-TL1
Expandable Storage Plus Tower at up to 80 MB/s SCSI bus data rate. Also
the two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI
external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/web pages for
verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5712) is a native boot
adapter with AIX 5.1 or AIX 5.2 software in a supported pSeries or
RS/6000 systems. The adapter also supports target mode.

Limitations:

The two external ports do not support the connection to the IBM
7131-105 IBM Multi-Storage Tower Model 105.

Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter has ports
that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally
attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified
by that supporting system disk backplane.

Disk drives internal to the pSeries system shipped prior to September

(#5716) 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter

The 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter is a 64-bit address/data,
short form factor PCI-X adapter with an LC type external fiber connector
that provides single or dual initiator capability over an optical fiber
link or loop. With the use of appropriate optical fiber cabling, this
adapter provides the capability for a network of high speed local and
remote located storage. The 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter will
auto-negotiate for the highest data rate (either 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps) of
which the device or switch is capable. Distances of up to 500 meters
running at 1 Gbps data rate and up to 300 meters running at 2 Gbps data
rate are supported between the adapter and an attaching device or switch.
When used with IBM supported Fibre Channel storage switches supporting
long-wave optics, distances of up to 10 kilometers are capable running at
either 1 Gps or 2 Gps data rates.

The 2 Gigabit Fibre Channel PCI-X Adapter can be used to attach
devices either directly, or by means of Fibre Channel Switches. If
attaching a device or switch with a SC type fiber connector(s), use of an
LC-SC 50 Micron Fiber Converter Cable (#2456) or a LC-SC 62.5 Micron
Fiber Converter Cable (#2459) is required.

(#5736) PCI-X DDR 2.0 Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter

The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter (#5736) is a 64-bit 3.3
volt adapter and is an excellent solution for high-performance SCSI
applications. The PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter provides
two SCSI channels (busses), each capable of running 320 MBps (max.).
Each SCSI bus can either be internal (on systems that support internal
SCSI device or backplane attachments) or external. Internally attached
Ultra320 devices are designed to run at a data rate of up to 320 MB per
second on systems that have internal backplanes that are capable of
supporting Ultra320 speeds.

In order to achieve an Ultra320 SCSI bus data rate of up to 320 MB per

utilizes Low Voltage Differential (LVD) drivers and receivers. To fully
utilize this 320 MB per second performance, all attaching devices should

that SCSI bus at the lower SE bus data rate of the device.

Two VHDCI 68-pin connectors are mounted on the adapter's end bracket
allowing attachment of various LVD and SE external subsystems. A .3
meter converter cable, VHDCI to P, Mini-68 pin to 68-pin, (#2118) can be
used with older external SE devices or subsystems to allow connection to
the VHDCI connector on the PCI-X DDR Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter.

The two external ports provide connectivity to numerous other SCSI
external subsystems. Check the external subsystem sales/web pages for
verification of connectivity support with this adapter.

Even though the Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI nonRAID Adapter has ports
that run at ultra320 SCSI speeds (up to 320 MBytes/s), the internally
attached disk drives will run at a maximum SCSI bus data rate specified
by that supporting system disk backplane.

To increase the data writing performance, a 90 MByte non-volatile
fast-write cache is a resident part of this adapter. The 90 MByte fast-
write cache can provide a significant improvement in data throughput and
response time during certain sequence write operations compared to SCSI
RAID adapters without the fast-write cache. The response time and data
transfer improvement will vary depending upon the data block sizes, the
percentage of sequential writes, machine type/model, and application
parameters.

The Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter has two independent
ultra320 SCSI buses. There are two internal ports and two external
ports. The two internal ports are shared with the two external ports.
The SCSI busses can drive either an internal port or an external port.
The internal ports can be used to provide an internal RAID solution on
certain supporting pSeries systems with internal multiple disk drives or
packs of drives. Internally attached Ultra320 devices designed to run at
320 MB can run up to 320 MB per second on systems that have internal
backplanes that are capable of supporting Ultra320 speeds.
